As for "Instigation" for one to kill themselves, I didn't realise that bullying etc only came into existence when the internet became mainstream and we gave kids mobile phones/fakebook access, kid's telling other kid's verbally, via graffiti etc to kills themselves never happened before the internet.

Just like child abuse never existed, csam never existed, there was no abuse, no false information etc etc before the internet, the internet created it all!


The online world and "real" world are as bad as each other, but for the most part, because I was raised correctly and warned of the issues that could be online etc like many my age, we/I understood/understand the risks and as such most people I know didn't fall the BS online, unlike these days, where you are not allowed to teach kids about the bad things because you will be labelled an extremist etc!
Oh yes, both have their problems, but the Internet has made it easier to do, especially if they are able to do so anonymously.
